ClubDeal Digital

What ClubDeal Digital does

Weltix (formerly ClubDeal Digital) is an Italy-based, Consob-regulated fintech operating a digital private markets infrastructure platform headquartered in Milan. Founded in 2020 and rebranded to Weltix in 2025, the company provides end-to-end services covering equity and debt placement, investor onboarding and management, asset tokenization, cap table and governance management, and Italian tax-optimized employee equity compensation plans. Underlying the platform is a blockchain-based Distributed Ledger Technology infrastructure operating under Consob ECSP authorization (n. 22966) and DLT authorization (n. 23641), with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Weltix Fiduciaria S.p.A., holding MIMIT authorization for fiduciary activities.

The company serves three primary customer segments: (1) issuing companies — corporates, startups, and SMEs raising capital or managing equity plans; (2) syndicate managers and investment funds structuring club deals and co-investments; and (3) banks and financial intermediaries (SIMs, Private Banks) extending private market offerings to clients. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on equity/debt placements and tokenization, plus subscription/recurring fees for cap table management, governance tools, and equity compensation plan administration, with additional managed-services revenue from fiduciary arrangements. Go-to-market combines a self-serve digital platform with enterprise sales and a channel-partner model anchored by tier-one intermediaries including Banca Sella, UniCredit, Uptevia (covering CAC40 corporate benefit programs for 12,000+ Italian employees), Bonelli Erede, and LUISS Alumni 4 Growth.

Notable enterprise clients include EssilorLuxottica (12,000 employees on managed equity plans), Sanofi, Saint-Gobain, D-Orbit, Genenta Science, and Banca Sella. The company reports supporting 200+ innovative companies across funding rounds and a cumulative customer base of 15,000+, with operations spanning Europe (Italy and France), North America, and Asia. Despite this client footprint, the operating team is reported at 1–10 employees, with cumulative disclosed funding of €1.5 million (Oct 2023, led by CDP Venture Capital Sgr Fondo Rilancio Startup). Leadership is anchored by founder and CEO Antonio Chiarello.
